Hi everyone! I am new to this group but have been on MFP since February. I have already lost 20 pounds so far and am looking to loose another 50. I joined this group in hopes of connecting with other moms and hopefully find a good support structure.

    Hello Heidi!

    Sounds to me like we're in the same boat. I gained around 75 lbs with my baby boy. I lost 25 when I had him, and an extra 5 after. I was already on my hefty side when I got pregnant, so I have 50 left to go before I feel decently comfortable in my own skin. I'm curious, what's been working for you to lose the weight? I'm in serious need of some tips!

    Thank you! And yes I'll send you an add. This dieting is rough. I lost a few lbs quick but I've been stuck lately without any weight loss! I do admit I'm impatient lol but really don't think I should be hitting a plateau this early. Hope you're having better luck! :)

    Stay with it. Clean eating from 21 day fix plan, 30 minute work outs and my online support group helped me lose 70lbs. It can be done, and if you like me to help ya. Just let me know. Love too!

    Mom of 5 here, clean eating and watching my calories is helping start the weight loss but I know what I really need is to exercise. with 5 kids, the youngest being 6wks it's just so hard when I'm so sleep deprived
